NEW SEAT IBIZA CONCEPT IBZ : Family-sized concept for the Ibiza range
• The shape of the forthcoming, family-friendly Ibiza is the third member of the range
• Sharp dynamic tensioned exterior combined with a functionally radiating interior design
• Sporty Spanish brand continues innovating through design and technologySEAT is showcasing the stunning IBZ Concept at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The star of the SEAT stand in Germany previews a new, family-sized version that will make its appearance in showrooms across Europe towards the middle of next year, further increasing the company's B segment line-up in the process.The IBZ Concept marries flexible and functional packaging within a non-compromised exterior and interior design. It incarnates the brand parameters – young, design-driven and sporty.Boasting a modern, tensioned silhouette, the IBZ Concept includes numerous distinctive exterior and interior design features, and benefits from cutting-edge technology for a gripping driving experience.Once again, SEAT Design Director Luc Donckerwolke has applied his pragmatic design vision to create an attractive, yet tremendously functional car where comfort and roominess complement the traditional sports philosophy common to all SEAT models.The world debut of the bold IBZ Concept is another significant stepping stone on the company's path to extending its range line-up. The challenge it meets is to combine a larger family-sized chassis featuring greater load capacity with the distinct, feisty personality of the Ibiza.Imposing front viewThe front end of the IBZ Concept shows an evolution of SEAT's now trademark Arrow Design. The bonnet features a running edge, splitting the car through its symmetry access, adding precision and sharpness to the known Ibiza face. The tensed eyebrows accentuate the headlights, whose diamond-shaped interior combines LED technology with light guides.The new centre grille, with honeycomb slats and aluminium surround, is underlined by the same purist, rectangular air vents found on the Ibiza CÚPRA. Another development at the front sees the usual arrow shape enhanced by a set of lines parallel to the headlights, finishing at the broad opening beneath the bumper. Two aluminium mouldings in this area round off the front end design.Styled to stand out, the IBZ Concept boasts an attractive sweep created by the newly designed headlights complete with LED technology. Their pointed tips provide continuity to the Dynamic Line that brushes over the wings and the middle of the front doors, while their novel interior structure mimics the facets of a diamond. One set generates the main beam, while the smaller LEDs generate the dipped beam. At the same time, a portion of the smaller facets at the top of the cluster serve as daytime driving lights, with the indicator LEDs at the bottom.A truly sporty family car
This is nothing short of the perfect definition of the IBZ Concept presented by SEAT at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Its new dimensions and design create an ideal synergy between sporting intent, pragmatic functionality and spaciousness required to adapt to any need.
Beneath the rear hatch of the new SEAT IBZ Concept lies a spacious boot. Measuring an impressive 410 litres, it can be significantly extended when the rear seats are folded to leave a completely flat cargo space that stretches right to the back of the front seats. The car can be loaded up to the ceiling, either with the rear seats in place or folded down.The boot's low load height makes it easy to access, allowing heavy or bulky items to be carried simply. It also provides several solutions for keeping objects securely in place, such as side hooks or storage nets on either side of the wheel arches.Another interesting feature lies beneath the floor of the boot. The second tier under the folding floor serves as a supplementary storage compartment. A cover leads to the spare wheel and tool box, so everything is kept neatly in place.The detailing in the boot once again shows SEAT's quality workmanship put into practice. The edges of the floor covering are finished with leather, and the soft pads on the side are in cream-coloured suede.Third member of the Ibiza family
With the Ibiza Concept IBZ, SEAT is offering a preview of the future family-sized version of its most popular model. It will be on the market in 2010, as the company continues its new product offensive which is making the Spanish brand's range the youngest on the market. In the year of the Ibiza's 25th anniversary, the newest addition to the range underlines the car's segment-leading quality, design and workmanship.The chassis of the new IBZ Concept has the same compact dimensions, with a total length of 4.22 metres and the same height and width as the basic model, although greater access to the rear seats is provided by broader rear doors.As with the rest of the SEAT range, the sporty, design-driven youthful style of the new IBZ Concept make it perfect for those who value space, practicality, comfort and loads of driving enjoyment.Source - Seat
